In January of 1917, British cryptographers deciphered a telegram from German Foreign Minister Arthur Zimmermann to the German Minister to Mexico, von Eckhardt, offering United States territory to Mexico in return for joining the German cause. This message helped draw the United States into the war and thus changed the course of history. The telegram had such an impact on American opinion that, according to David Kahn, author of The Codebreakers, “No other single cryptanalysis has had such enormous consequences.” Excerpt from “The Zimmermann Telegram” by Mary Alexander and Marilyn Childress from Social Education, April 1981.

It created conflict between Mexico and the United States and delayed American arms production for the Allies.
